Genuine Neumann U 87 Ai – Legendary Professional Studio Microphone

For sale is my genuine Neumann U 87 Ai, one of the most respected and recognizable professional studio microphones ever made.

IMPORTANT – AUTHENTICITY

There are unfortunately many counterfeit U 87 microphones being offered online today. For this reason, I have included detailed photographs of the microphone’s internal components and electronics so prospective buyers can see the genuine Neumann construction for themselves.

The microphone also comes with its original Neumann wooden storage box. The serial number on the wooden box matches the serial number on the microphone.

Please carefully review all photographs. I wanted to provide as much visual documentation as possible so the buyer can purchase with confidence.

CONDITION

The microphone is in excellent, very clean condition with minimal signs of use.

It has been carefully handled and stored.

Most importantly, it has been fully tested and works perfectly. All functions operate as they should, and the microphone sounds excellent.
